General Housing Information
Public sector housing in the Isle of Man is provided by a variety of Housing Authorities, which manage different areas of the Island. These areas consist of Braddan, Castletown, Douglas, Onchan, Peel, Port Erin, Port St Mary and Ramsey. The Department of Social Care provides public sector housing in areas where there is no functioning Housing Authority. See the contacts list at the bottom of the page for contact details of all the Housing Authorities on the Island. This includes the details for Douglas Corporation which is sometimes confused with this Department, possibly because we are known as DSC. If you wish to contact Douglas Borough Council on any issue concerning its own housing stock, please call them on 696317 or e-mail enquiries@douglas.gov.im.
The Department’s public sector housing is located in various areas within the Island and totals approximately 1200 houses. Follow the link to the Map to see where Department's public sector houses are situated.
Eligibility for a public sector house in the Isle of Man is dependent upon meeting certain criteria, which are covered on our Acceptance Criteria and Points page. The page also includes an application form which you can complete if you wish to apply to join the Department's Housing Waiting List. However, among other things, you will need to have been resident on the Island for at least 10 years, and have been resident in an area(s) in which the Department has houses for at least 5 years.
Newsletters
The Department issues periodic newsletters to provide updates on various issues, for example, the status of new constructions or refurbishments, and the impact on tenants. Once prepared, the latest newsletter will appear in the downloadable table at the bottom of the page.
